It must be very hard to have had to be the one to keep everything going and make all the decisions.

6 years is a long time to do that for.

Now there is another person back in the house who has their own opinions and who's decisions may differ to yours.

Is there any counselling you can get to help the pair of your adjust?

Or is it more than this?

What was your relationship like before he became a guest of Her Maj, what were you expecting when he came out, and what has been the reality since he's been home?

Is he working or does he care for the dc while you work? How many dc do you have?

i av 4 but while he was away 2 of them ad babies, im now a granny of 3. he is working but moans about doing wkends!!! he as just got in and moaned that i avnt done is tea, my 16 yo is eating, he jus got in from football an i am responsible for him, im is mum, my hubby went out at 2.30!!! dont know were he bin an he prob wont tell me or moan if i ask him. wot did i want? the pressure to be taken off me, a chance to av time for myself, and i mean that as being able able to spend time wit grandkids/kids and not av to worry that the washing wasnt being done or that the dog adnt been walked, you know he simple things. before he went away ow relationship was fine, or i thought it was realise now that maybe it wasnt. i married him while he was away, but we all make mistakes.
